Fujac Hard Cider- A bubbly blend of juices from Jonagold, Jonamac, Fuji, Crispin, and Macoun apples grown locally at Red Jacket Orchards. Drier than our Apple wine and with a lower ABV of only 7.1%, this light, refreshing option is a perfect alternative.

Stone Fort Reserve- A blend of our orchard’s no-spray, non-fertilized apples, and various wild and feral apples foraged from the surrounding woods. A good measure of wild russets impart a bitter-sharp smack. Stone Fort is about twenty-five percent forage.

Wild Forage- Simply, this cider is pressed from wild apples we have foraged while wandering the northern Catskill Mountains with a burlap sack. It’s how we started, and to this day it’s still our favorite method of crafting cider.

Oak Barrel Aged- This may sound novel, but it’s anything but. A few years back, we noticed something: nearly all cider throughout history was fermented in oak barrels. Since our forefathers didn’t have stainless steel tanks, or HDPE plastic vessels, oak barrels were just as much a part of cider as apples and alcohol. We believe that in order to truly experience what our forefathers were drinking back in the day — when patriots like the Adams Brothers got cidered up and head-butted the nearest Lobster-Back — there needs to be some toasted American White Oak involved.

Honey Hopped- Our handcrafted cider meets locally grown, organic, NY State Hops, and is back-blended with a touch of our farm’s raw honey — the very honey collected in the pollination of the apple trees from which we press our cider. Pretty much, it’s cider’s entire life cycle in your glass. The hops not only provide a cannabis aroma and a piney top-note, but they help to stabilize the cider, allowing us to crash fermentation a little bit early, leaving some of the honey unfermented.

Badass Cider- is a craft Cider produced in Washingtonville, NY at the Brotherhood Winery. Using only apples and pears from New York, our Cider stands alone in taste, nutritional content, and most of all, drinkability. Coming in at 5.5% abv, Badass has just enough "kick" to make for an enjoyable, session Cider. Are you a Badass? Badass Hard Cider was born and raised in New York, with a New York attitude. Only New York apples and pears are used in making our Cider.

THE CIDERS:

Blissful Moon- We named this authentic, hand crafted hard cider after Solomon Bliss, the original owner of the farm. He purchased 150 acres of the land in 1793 for just $1.50 per acre, taking nine years to pay off his $225 debt. We are honored to be farming here more than 200 years later. Blissful Moon is a versatile, extra dry cider with a refreshing finish.

Cherry Moon- We make our Cherry Moon cider in memory of Grandma Pat Critz and her famous cherry pie. Made in small batches from a delicate balance of sweet and tart apples, this cider is fermented, blended with New York cherry juice, and then lightly carbonated.

Four Screw- Our hard cider is crafted from a special blend of sweet and tart dessert apples pressed on our 1890′s rack and cloth Four Screw Press. We are proud to offer farm visitors a bit of history with this Syracuse-built antique. Sweetened with pure maple syrup, Four Screw’s subtle fruitiness and complex flavor is highlighted when served with local New York cheeses.

Red Barn Raspberry- Wild red raspberries, growing plentifully in the fields behind our historic 200-year-old barn, are the inspiration for our Red Barn Raspberry hard cider.

Rippleton Original- is a light, effervescent extra dry cider made in the old farmhouse cider tradition. We start with crisp, juicy apples pressed on our antique press, then naturally ferment the cider using a champagne yeast. A touch of our own maple syrup is added to allow for a secondary fermentation right in the bottle.

Blueberry Moon Hard Cider- Blueberries mean summer on the farm, when the days are long and the pace is slow. Savor the sweet, juicy summer pleasures with our award winning Blueberry Moon Hard Cider. Inspired by July’s full moon over the blueberry fields, this lightly carbonated sweet blend of hard cider with blueberry juice has a subtle fruitiness and refreshing finish. Enjoy a taste of summer all year through!

Glinda’s Gold- More than a century after being published, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz remains one of America’s most beloved stories. The author, L. Frank Baum was born nearby, and we’re proud to grow our crisp, juicy apples down the road from his grandparent’s home. As a tribute to Baum, we named this cider in honor of Glinda, the good witch. Skillfully handcrafted with fresh-pressed farm-grown apples and a touch of maple syrup, this complex blend is balanced and delicately sweet. Enjoy Glinda’s Gold: as timeless and magical as the character it is named after.

Heritage Hops Hard Cider- is a tribute to the early hop growing tradition of Madison County, dating back to the mid 1800’s. Using a strain of locally grown hops propagated from those originally grown nearby, we “dry hop” the cider after fermentation. It is aged for several months, then lightly carbonated. Heritage Hops Hard Cider is extra dry with a unique hoppy aroma and flavor.

Graft Cidery- European cider tradition grafted onto contemporary styles. We are just now in our early launch phase and are excited to slowly roll out the story of our cider. We are a small but enthusiastic team and will be adding more functionality to the site to help our fans find our cider and learn more about what we are doing.

Grisamore Ciderworks- The fifth generation of the Grisamore Family lives on our farm. The Grisamores moved from the Chicago area in 1927. Maurice, Else, and Else's mother Renata Koch came to Locke, New York to live on this farm. Maurice was a conductor on the New York Central Railroad and one of his co-workers bought a farm nearby. They started with a dairy in the early days. In 1975 we planted our apple orchard and opened our farm store. The farm store has evolved a long way too since it beginning as a dairy barn. The back portion of the farm store was just rebuilt. New construction started in April 2000. It now houses the new cooler and the cider press. There is a lot of extra space in our barn for new projects.

Cider Creek Hard Cider- Our family heritage ties back to farmland in the hills of Canisteo, NY. Our life is in Boston, MA. Every year when we return to the farm at Thanksgiving time, we visit the local cider mill and home brew hard cider to share with our friends and family throughout the holidays. Our cider’s become so popular that people ask us to make more cider all year round. While we can’t bring the farm and the cider mill back to Boston, we can bring more of that straight from the mill flavor to our friends at fine establishments in Boston, a city rooted deep in cider heritage. We do not use store bought juice or concentrate. Our cider is 100% made by us, from start to finish. First, we buy our apples directly from local NY state farmers. We hand inspect every apple for quality, then blend 5-7 different types of apples together. From there we send the apples up to the press, which we also operate.

THE CIDERS:

Kingston Black- This is a variety of apples we grow that is in the Bittersharp category of European cider apples. It was fermented to dry and when bottle conditioned to give it effervescence like a champagne, so expect sediment in the bottom of the bottle.

Hailstorm- A blend of Bittersweet cider apples, including Michelin, Chisel Jersey, Brown Snout and Summerset Redstreak, with Kingston Black. The cider is fermented to dry, sweetened and naturally carbonated by bottle conditioning. Sediment is common in the bottle. Pour carefully.

Olde Orchard- Sweet Made from a blend of McIntosh and Bittersweet cider apples. Fermented to dry and sweetened before we bottle conditioned, to give it effervescence like a champagne. Expect sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Pour carefully.

Six generations have worked and sustained the same land ever since... We're very excited to introduce our newest line of hand-crafted, quality products made from fresh produce straight from our orchards. Blackman Cider Co. is a maker of fine New York State craft hard cider and fruit brandy.

Shinn Estate Vineyards and Farmhouse- The wine we craft at Shinn Estate Vineyards is intended to be a living memory of the time and place it was grown. Each vintage, whether it is warm or cool, dry or wet, gives us unique and vibrant fruit that longs to speak honestly and forthrightly. The challenge is to find a voice for the fruit we grow so that the message of each vintage is artfully presented. We are entrusted with the job of being translators for nature; therefore we allow our wines to ferment with the yeast provided by our biologically diverse soils. Wine is a living and evolving time machine, built by the life force of nature and the gentle touch of human beings.

The Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard is a historic, water-powered mill on the banks of Fly Creek in the heart of beautiful Central New York just minutes from Cooperstown.

The Mill Store Marketplace is the heart of activity with sampling of over 40 specialty food products, many made right at the Mill. At the Farm Winery you can taste and buy Fly Creek Hard Ciders and Apple Wines, another feature of the New York cider making tradition.

Metal House Cider- We start with apples sourced entirely from historic Hudson Valley orchards and our own reinvigorated family orchard in Esopus, NY. After having sweat the apples for a spell, we press on our handmade rack-and-cloth press. Initial fermentation takes place in glass and stainless steel, and then rests through the winter in our steel clad cider house – the metal house! We blend in the spring, and start a new tirage using champagne yeast, nutrients and sugar to restart the fermentation process. We bottle immediately and then lay the bottles horizontally for a minimum of six months, allowing the second fermentation to proceed slowly, and imparting an optimal effervescence to each one. But good things take time. From the sustainably grown apples we pick, to the way in which we ferment, to the time we allow it to bottle condition, we work for it … and wait for it. Toil, love and time.

THE CIDERS:

Albee Hill- Still, dry. This single orchard cider is made entirely from English and French cider apples grown in our Albee Hill Orchard where shallow shale based soils, low fertility, and no irrigation result in concentrated tannins and acids. Bottled still and dry, Albee Hill is minimalist cider, which embodies true cider apple character.

Northern Spy- Naturally sparkling, dry. This cider is made entirely from lumpy, green Northern Spy apples, which lend a surprising depth and structure to this single variety cider. Salty, citrusy, and dry, Northern Spy has tiny bubbles and a mouth-watering acidity that cleanses the palate and enhances most foods

It has a distinctive fruity nose that comes only from bittersweet apples, smoky, tannic undertones and a rich, warm texture and lingering finish.

Darling Creek- This semi-dry cider is a blend of English and French bittersweets and bittersharps, fruity American cider apples and our own seedling varieties. The aroma is a play between sweet- honey suckle, apple blossom and red apple; herbal- gin, licorice, and allspice; and green- tomatillo and sapling. The mouth feel is big and thick with a soft but dry, velvety texture. The finish is full and balanced, with lingering notes of sweet, sour apricot.

Perry Pear- Naturally sparkling, semi-dry. Made from a blend of uncommon English perry pears. Like sackcloth on young flesh, this perry is a sumptuous blend of fruit and tannins. Melon and fresh pear over smokey bacon, figs, and dried apricots.

Beckhorn Hollow- Aromas swirl from raw honey to white clover blossoms to fresh lake breeze. The palate is a striking contrast to the nose with juicy kumquat, toasted hazelnuts and chamomile. The sweet floral, tart citrus and bitter citrus peel elements have seamless integration in a balanced structure. Bright acid and silty tannin are equal in the finish which is long and lingering with more honey, citrus and a bit of candied peel.​

Kingston Black- This still, dry cider is made entirely from an esteemed English bittersharp variety grown using organic farming practices in our Albee Hill orchard. Aroma: initially the pungency of kerosene, opening up into sweet clover, white flowers and lychee. This cider has a lean, taut, firm structure and buttery mouth feel. The finish has a balanced, lemony acidity which lingers but does not seem sour.

Essence- Ice cider, sweet dessert. This is ice wine made from apples. We allow the juice from late harvest apples to freeze during the winter. As the juice freezes and thaws, a concentrated portion collects in the center. We ferment this nectar partially, saving the natural apple sugars to make this a dessert cider. Essence is replete with flavors of honey, caramel, apricot jam and juicy apples.

Mayers Lake Ontario Winery and Cider Mill- was built by Perry Langdon in 1835, he later, in 1876, sold the property to Donat Mayer. Donat Mayer was a farmer who made apple cider by pressing his excess apples. This started a trend with the neighbors. In 1904 Donat Mayer Jr. purchased the farm from his father. Donat Mayer Jr started the making of donuts, later passing down the farm and tradition to his son Harvey Mayer. In 1962 David Bower bought the Cider Mill and Barns from Harvey Mayer. David Bower Sr. kept the tradition alive as well as the name. The Cider Mill still operates today and the Donuts are made fresh every day in the same way. Since the Mill was bought, the Bower Family has added a couple traditions of their own, including fudge, cookies, and specialty ciders, and there is the addition of the wine tasting room on the side of the barn exactly where the kids used to play. In addition to their time old traditions, the Bower Family added the home beer and wine making retail store.

Westwind Orchard and Cidery- Cider’s roots are deep. Deep in a European tradition that long ago came to America, only to be interrupted by thirteen years of Prohibition in the early 20th century. While new American cider traditions are measured in years or decades, Europeans have cider traditions that stretch back uninterrupted for centuries. Its only in the last few years that American ciders have resurfaced with a new sense of purpose. We may be new, but we learn fast. Borrowing from those old European cider traditions, Westwind Orchard began tinkering with its own style of cider about four or five years ago. Most of our orchards are comprised of some pretty standard northeast US apple varieties, like McIntosh and Stayman. But, like just like ‘old vine’ vineyards the trees have only gotten better with age allowing us to make some pretty incredible ciders with what was already growing here. Add in some newer characters like GoldRush and raspberries, and some traditional and wild cider apples, and we’re sailing into uncharted waters. After a few years of figuring out our cider direction, we starting working with Andy Brennan – of Aaron Burr Cidery – to work out the kinks and put the finishing touches on our ciders. Where we’ve landed is pretty impressive and something we’re very proud of.

Scrumpy Ewe- We make some of our ciders akin to a fine wine, in laboratory-like controlled settings. A juice that is bright, clean and acidic, pitched with a champagne yeast in stainless steel tanks at specific temperatures, filtered and forced carbonated. On the other hand, we also make ciders in the age-old farmhouse tradition - where wild yeasts work in tandem with brettanomyces stains. In these ciders, nature does most of the work as its slow ferments in our French and American white oak barrels. These unfiltered scrumpy ciders appeal to the farmhouse crowd who doesn't mind getting their taste buds a bit dirty! Regardless of the cider making method we employ in a given batch, one thing is for certain: our ciders come from the juice of 100% pressed, New York State grown apples. Never from concentrate. Each batch is pressed, fermented, blended and bottled with care. We make them once a year, and batch-to-batch have their own unique characteristics based on our growth season, the heirloom varieties we blend and style of fermentation we utilize.

Eve’s Cidery- the sun comes up, the sun sets, the rains come and go and the cold and the heat rotate around the years. And that is as it has been for thousands of years here in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Somewhere, on the side of one of those hill sits our little cider orchard. Sometimes, we marvel at our hard work: “I grafted those thousand trees, I grew those apples, I built that barn, I put up that trellis.” There is honed skill and hard labor involved in growing a crop, and making good cider. But in end, what makes what we do worth doing is a sense of the magic: in leaves absorbing sunlight, roots seeking minerals, raptors hunting mice and apples in the fall. Here is a vintage of cider, which will never be repeated, reflecting the lives of trees in this one spot for this one year. Here are ciders that are elegant, feral, and mischievous. Here are ciders that surprise and transcend. We hope you enjoy them.

Original Stump Blower (OSB) Ciderworks- we are an Upstate NY craft ciderworks, owned and operated by siblings Elise Barnard and Eric Smith. Our name pays homage to our father and his late uncle.

We make a variation of this cider in-house and think fond thoughts of Uncle Charie everytime we talk about it. We utilize NY apples, as well as other local ingredients to ferment tasty libations for locals and cider enthusiasts alike.

THE CIDERS (over 12 cider Styles including):

Woodside Orchards Traditional Hard Cider-

Apple Raspberry Cider-

Ginger Apple-

Woodside Traditional Sweet-

Cinnamon Apple-

Pumpkin Apple-

THE CIDERS:

Thistlehill- Wild fermented Farmhouse cider from apples foraged along the northwestern slope of the hollow that's called...well... Thistlehill. Wild apples and wild crabs mixed with some heirloom apples from our own orchard. Funky and round.

Hollow Bottom- Foraged (70%) and from our orchard 30% both along the stream at the bottom of the hollow. Aged in bourbon barrels and bottle fermented. Notes of vanilla and oak. Light acidity.

Captain Cooks Razz Ma Tazz- Light copper in color. The raspberry dominates the nose with apple aromas in the background. The carbonation level is moderate. Palate weight is medium with a residual sugar level of 3%. The apple aromas stay in the background throughout while the raspberry carries on thru the finish. This cider comes off as more fruit-sweet than sugar sweet.

Benjamins Best- Apple aromas in the nose with some hi-toned fruit sweetness. Fairly well carbonated with a light finish. The 3% residual sugar is well balanced by the carbonation level. The finish drops off nicely.

Founder's Reserve- This has a similar nose to Benjamin's Best but the apple aromas are more volatile. This tastes like a sweet apple pie. The fairly high residual sugar (5%) is attained by arresting the fermentation early. This level of sweetness from the glucose and fructose sugars (sweeter tasting thean surcrose) gives the cider moderate to heavy palate weight with a lower alcohol level (3.5%) This is certainly a crowd pleaser.

Redbyrd Orchard Cider- is a small family-run sustainably managed orchard and cidery. We grow heirloom, wild seedling and European cider apples to produce unique and complex artisinal ciders. We are proud to be part of a movement of small craft cidermakers committed to bringing true cider back to the American table and cider apple trees back to the American landscape.

Aaron Burr Cider- founded in 2008, "The Cidery" is a small operation providing the option for "true cider", the farm-style drink rooted in Colonial America. We are the growers, the millers and fermenters of organic apples; we will remain small to observe absolute control over the product and to satisfy our lofty standards. Other cider-makers may provide market-driven cider for less money but it is our role to reach the high-end of the drink by being true to cider as it exists in natural form. It all starts with the apples.

Good Life Farm- is our home and our work and our way to say YES. Melissa and Garrett bought these 69 acres in 2008 when the fields were all in corn, wheat and soy. Over the past years, we’ve created a diverse ecological farm. We’ve planted grass, bushes and trees, built buildings, put up high tunnels, fenced the property and brought in turkeys, geese, beef cows and draft horses. Our business is built for maximum positive impact- instead of focusing on doing “less” harm, we seek to do the most good for our community. For us, this means growing abundance, resilience and diversity every day. Good Life Farm is now a certified organic farm; a full diet CSA+; and home to Finger Lakes Cider House, our collaborative multi-cidery Tasting Room. Our ciders are distinctly American in style, which means we’re not afraid to borrow from the world of traditions and styles. Good Life Cider creatively blends international influences with a taste of the Finger Lakes through our mineral-rich, acidic apples.

THE CIDERS:

Catskill (Semi-Dry Barrel Aged Blend)- Ciders aged in oak bourbon barrels from a local micro-distillery lend a rich complexity to this blend, mellowing the bite of the cider with notes of vanilla.

Half-Wild (Semi-Sweet)- This cider draws a full, tart character from its high proportion of wild apples, allowing it to hold up well to some additional sweetness.

Dry Town- is an honest, earthy, aromatic cider-quaffable, but full bodied enough to be enjoyed with food. This wild apple blend includes some magnificent little crab apples that lends this, still, dry cider a little zing.

McKenzie’s Hard Cider- is a creation started in 2011 by Lenny Ciolek, a 35-year veteran of the beverage industry who began his career at an upstate NY distributor and driving a keg truck while in college. Through the years, Ciolek then held a number of other responsibilities including (but not limited to) Regional Manager, Brand Team Director, and National Accounts & Trade Development Director. Lenny Ciolek’s extensive experience in the beverage industry kept him up-to-date on trends in markets and sales. He noticed consumer trends beginning to shift away from traditional malt beverages and start exploring other options. This combined with the explosion of micro/craft beer brands had Ciolek looking for what the next possible alternative “hot” category might be. Though cider had a very small base, he could sense the opportunities after seeing continued growth with very little competition. Ciolek’s experience in the beverage industry combined with the 160-years of cider producing from the Mayer Brothers in West Seneca NY, has made McKenzie’s the favorite among consumers in New York and many other U.S. markets.

After graduating from Cornell University in 2007, Tim returned to the family business and still works there full-time.

Therefore, we have begun planting nearly-extinct varieties of apples that are better suited for hard cider production than your typical grocery store varieties.

A majority of our trees are dwarf or semi-dwarf trees allowing for sunlight to pass between all trees and produce a ideal growing environment. With our family originating from Europe and Trinidad we have mixed these cultures together to produce products that have been around for centuries produced by masters of the craft. We sell a majority of our products through local vendors and farmers markets, our products stand apart from your standard produce and you can always tell if it is a StoneyRidge product by the quality of the fruit and by our logo or sign.

Little Apple Farm- in Hillsdale, New York is a 300-tree orchard operated by Ron Bixby and his wife Alanne Baerson since 1980.

Ron comes from an apple growing family in, where else, Appleton, Wisconsin. The farm went organic in the 1990s. Organic doesn’t mean no spray. Ron explains that unlike non-organic orchards, only certified organic materials are used at Little Apple Farm, such as sulfur, calcium, clay, even seaweed and baking powder, rather than toxic insecticides and fungicides. “It’s expensive and time consuming, and thats why so few organic apples are on the market,” according to Ron. Hard cider, more specifically “Cidre fermier” small batch traditional sparkling farm cider wine, has a long tradition at the farm, and now not just for home consumption. Tasting room located at the Hudson-Chatham Winery.

Wayside Cider- A small-batch craft cidery based in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. From hand picking apples through to bottling our final product,we handle every stage of the process, including, of course, sharing a glass of our cider with friends. While our methods might take longer, so do all the best things in life. Our blend of wild, heirloom, and dessert apples merges past and present to create a uniquely Delaware County cider. Bucking the current cider trend of looking to Europe for inspiration and apple cultivars, we are focused on making modern American ciders that draw on the history and topography of the place where we live. We pick and graft the wild and abandoned trees with the aim of preserving the past while embracing modern production methods to produce a cider unique to this region. We have found the wild apples produce much less juice than their cultivated cousins, but we hope you will agree that the complexity and unique flavors of these little fellas make all the effort worthwhile.

THE CIDERS:

Packbasket- sparkling cider, 100% wild seedling apple trees, Last season (2014) yielded a very light crop for wild apples and pears across Central New York. However, with a bit of luck we found one stand of wild trees in a high valley with a good crop. They must have been nipped by a spring frost some years back and not fruited until we stumbled upon them this season. These hidden trees were far enough from the dirt road that the only way we could harvest them was to haul them out on our backs. Hence the name, Packbasket!

Brooklyn Cider House- We’re from Brooklyn too, by way of Korea and Europe, but we discovered hard cider in the Basque Country in northern Spain. Every spring the cider there flows like water from casks the size of tanker trucks. It’s not just cider, it’s the most delicious cider there is. And it’s not just about the cider. It’s a party, a celebration of the harvest, and a time for friends to reconnect. ‘Wait a minute’, we thought, ‘We’re from the Big Apple, why don’t we have a cider party?’ So, we quit our jobs and went apple picking, literally. There were snowy days, angry farmers, and a lot of strange looks from our friends and family. Just about everyone we knew told us we were crazy. Maybe we are, but once you taste our ciders, you’ll see it was worth it. Making cider is not a path to riches but it is a path to enjoying life. All our ciders are born out of traditions from Spain, France, and America. They are made as naturally as possible from apples handpicked in upstate New York. Our apples are simply crushed and their juice left to ferment the same way the traditionalists do it in Europe and the way it used to be done in Brooklyn before the Temperance Movement ended the party.

Thirsty Owl Wine Company- The history of the Thirsty Owl Wine Company began when Ted W. Cupp purchased 150 acres from Robert and Mary Plane on July 2, 2001 and established Wesley Wine Company. During the fall and winter of 2001 - 2002, construction began on both the tasting room and the wine making facility. The following spring (2002), with Shawn Kime as its first employee, work began on the lake vineyard located between the tasting room and the lake. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, and Malbec were planted in this vineyard. On Friday September 13, 2002, The Thirsty Owl Wine Company opened its doors for the first time with Mary Dauber managing the tasting room. We had four wines and produced approximately 1,200 cases. Since 2002 we have increased production by over 1000% and at the same time The Thirsty Owl Wine Company's name has become synonymous with award winning wines.

The next year, we opened our first tasting room on the North Fork of Long Island in Mattituck, NY.
